A.2 MANAGING AN ATM SMARTSWITCH

Your ATM SmartSwitch must be IP reachable by the NMS before it can be managed. The default connection between the ATM SmartSwitch and the NMS is the Ethernet interface of the ATM SmartSwitch. Use the show switchconfig command to find the IP address of the ATM SmartSwitch. An NMS can use this IP address to reach the ATM SmartSwitch through Ethernet. An NMS can also manage an ATM SmartSwitch through one of its ATM ports if the ATM SmartSwitch has a client connection into a VLAN or emulated LAN.

Note that the ATM SmartSwitch itself, is not reachable through ATM until a client for the switch is created and participates as a member of a VLAN or ELAN. Your NMS uses that switch client’s address to access and manage the switch.

To create a client for the switch, use the add ipatmclient command for VLANs and add laneclient for emulated LANs.

Use the set mynmaddr command to tell the ATM SmartSwitch which interface to use when communicating with your NMS. For detailed information about these commands, see the SmartSwitch ATM Reference Manual.
